Since Garrett was just wearing a pair of shorts and nothing else, April could focus her power on his skinny, short legs.
Suddenly, his calves began to swell up! At first, it looked like he was becoming more muscular.
“Hey! What the…” Garrett gasped, as he realized the change.
April increased the power and within seconds, Garrett’s calves began to take form of balloons which were attached to the back of his legs.
“You’re not very heavy so you should be airborne very soon…” April chuckled to herself, as she stared at Garrett, who was bending down and looking at the growth with confusion.
The balloons were now 2 feet wide and 3 feet tall! They began to inflate rapidly, as if someone was pumping air into them! They also had the same color as Garrett’s skin!

“Yeah, right…” Garrett smirked.
“Fine! Stay there, floating around the house while hanging upside down from balloons. I’m going to the store to buy some coffee. I’ll be right back!” April giggled, as she grabbed her purse and walked out the door, leaving Garrett hanging upside down in the living room.
